    Sara Sampaio "can't watch horror movies"

    The 33-year-old model is dating actor Ray Nicholson, who stars in the new horror film 'Smile 2' - but Sara has revealed that she won't be watching the movie


    The brunette beauty told Us Weekly: "I actually haven't watched it. I can't watch horror movies.

    "I get really bad nightmares and he hates watching himself, so he is like, 'Don't watch it.'"

    Despite this, Sara was happy to help Ray, 32, to prepare for his role in the film.

    The model-turned-actress said: "I helped him with his scenes when he was filming, so I kind of know what happens, and I tape with him all the time.

    "He's incredible. All my friends went to see it the other day and they told me it was amazing.

    "Maybe I'll watch just his scenes, but I'm too much of a baby and I asked him, 'Is it really scary?' 'Cause I can do a little gore, but [he said] like, 'No, there's a lot of jump scares, and I'm like 'I can't do it.'"

    Sara first found fame as a model, but she previously admitted that acting has always been her true passion.

    She told Harper's Bazaar Arabia: "I didn't even know models existed when I was younger. Acting was always what I wanted to do ... I was a very dramatic child!"

    Sara is set to play Eve Teschmacher in the new 'Superman' movie, and the actress is determined to make a good impression.

    She shared: "I definitely feel the pressure because it's such a big project and it's my first big acting thing. But at the same time, I'm just putting out my own version of [Eve] so hopefully people like it."
